Its it possible to set servo limits through mission planner or do I have to edit it in the code somewhere?
I need to limit elevator and aileron travel down to +/- 15 degrees, in manual mode I've done so through the TX, but when I switch to stablize t

I suffered a pretty bad crash last week and since then I can't get my compass to work anymore. However, I am not sure if it's the compass that's actually broken or maybe my IMU board.
Just loaded 2.0.39 from MP .54 (stock AC frame, MB1200,compass). I tested sonar alt hold and loiter - seem very good now. Sonar hold stayed within a few inches (under .38 I got +-1 foot slow oscillation, no osc now). Loiter stayed good within a few f

I'm in the process of making an autonomous quadrotor helicopter UAV.
A concept that I have not been able to solidify or find anywhere is what exactly quantifies the manuevering and behavior of a quadrotor helicopter?
For example, if I wa

They seem to be used quite often with the MK platform.

Hi all,
I'm flying an Easystar with APM 2.11, it's had many flights and generally flies well. I have however noticed an issue in that the plane seems to overshoot waypoints when flying in a northerly direction, regardless of wind direction.
The beha

How does a failsafe work in terms of microcontroller programming?
What modules in the microcontroller are involved.. I want to implement it on my own hardware..
cheers!

Can someone please confirm that the "home" location the RTL will fly to is the point at which the APM is powered on, and establishes a gps lock.
If that is the case, how many SATs does it wait for before establishing that as home?

I have some issues with uploading code via arduino IDE. It all works great when uploading via APM Planner, but when using arduino IDE something strange happens.
Let start at the beggining. I have read the instructions here http://code.google.
